This is my own creation, a fusion kolam 🙂 Basically, this is a 11 dots kolam, But I have added extra dots for the outer sikku strand. To start with, I drew the flowers on the four sides and one in the centre. To connect the flowers I drew a sikku strand and a small flower with the leftover dots. After completing the kolam, I was thinking to add a border, but went ahead adding dots for sikku strand.
The colouring part, I have used dark light shades of a colour in the flower.
